Love

Such a simple word,

Yet can be used in several different ways.

The word gets thrown around so much,

How do we know what we are saying is true?

We get emotionally involved with someone

And we let the word go.

What if we say it just because of the emotions?

Not because we love them, but because of

The closeness of another human being next to us.

 

We crave attention from another human.

When we find what we call “Love”

We become embraced in it.

It is all we seem to want.

 

We use it to get things we want in life.

We use it for sex.

Money.

Power.

Control.

 

But why?

Love is supposed to be a sacred

Connection between two people who

Endeavor in each other’s lives.

They care about one another.

They would do anything just to be with that person.

And their lover the same.

Not talking about Romeo and Juliet .

But real life accusations.

Things that people actually used to do for

One another and for their family.

The time in the world when a man would

Ask the parents of the lady to take her out.

Bring her home on time.

Never ever late.

And marriage was given approval

Before it actually happened.
